Solid editing! Louis's technical stuff near the end of the solo and his work from 5:55-6:10 was awesome! Nate's feel with the ride bell and his mastery of using silence as sound give him the nod from me.
Tough to compare when sound quality is SO different between these gigs: one is a professional mix coming off the board (Nate), the other is someone standing in the crowd with a phone (Louis). So, you know how if someone asks you to listen to the same audio through two sets of identical speakers and there's a difference in volume, people almost always say the louder one sounds better - well, this is kinda like that. As far as style goes, Nate is way more of a trad RnB/jazz dude, and probably a more likely fit for Vulf. Louis is wacky and weird, super "grid", and plays drums in a style that is basically meant for the music he writes, not necessarily to try and fit someone else's tunes the way a session guy would. It's apples and oranges.
two awesome drummers with different styles. I liked both of them for what each brought to the table. It also says something that they both can make the band get energized by their playing. Not sure but I think Nate is older and it sounds like he has a bit more experience with that being said Cole is a beast and I love his work and this audio didn't do him justice. I'm not faulting the maker of the vid because this was a great chance to see a band perform with two different drummers and still rock the house. Awesome and thanks!
is nobody mentioning Louis Cole lives in the world of bad audio quality? this is how he is meant to be heard. where he thrives. his natural habit. his sanctum sanctorum.
The beautiful thing about art is that they both have unique styles that add something different to the music. Undoubtedly Nate is the king, if anyone has pocket and skill it's him. But Louis has such a unique style that really takes drumming in its own direction and it's done with incredible technique. Both have been fantastic for this current generation of music and I am happy that they are both in the Vulf family :)
As musicians, we get all kinds of recording: some high quality, some low quality, tascam cassette tape, CD's, AIFF, WAV, MP3 etc... You can hear what is being played, and that's what we're comparing. Very different Drummers - one is groovy backbeat (fits the song), the other is doin' his kool thing (makes it fit the song). These kind comparisons are for fans of the performer. If you were in the audience, and were dancing you'd likely find all of the syncopation and groove of Nate to make you make faces and dance, over Louis. That said, if like another commenter said, you wanted Louis' kool ideas in his solo, then that would be for you! In the end, this is what's been going on for literally decades in jazz and funk - bands play songs from the repertoire; bands members can be different and therefore different energy. That's it. Heck, why are there so many different orchestras who are recorded playing works from the 'Common Practice Period' and beyond - orchestras play songs from the repertoire; orchestras have different members and therefore different energy/interpretations. Nate fans; Louis fans, it's all good. Great players with voices whom brought good energy to the ensembles each night! Thanks for the share!!
Incredible how both are different and great. Even their body movement. Nate like dancing behind the set what matches how groovy that is. Louis like mechanic octopus playing some hardcore music.
Are ya'll kidding me?! Louis Cole blew the fucking top off those bars. I was literally slack-jawed through Louis Cole's solo. If he was mic'd as crisply as Nate Smith's version you guys would probably be losing your shit over it. Too bad it was recorded on a fucking potato. I will agree that Nate's is more... "stream" I guess? Starts with a solid backbeat-style groove, comes down solid on the one.... and does it again with some variation... and again with a little bit more variation and that's it (not to say just "that's it" or put down Nate Smith - that shit is FIRE). Nate is playing to the song, and that's great. On the other hand, Louis Cole is playing a fucking multi-part solo that's insanely creative, out of this world, and STILL manages to groove so hard.
I would say Louis Cole stood out the most as a performer in his performance with the Vulf, but the overall performance with Nate Smith was the better of the two. The band is so cohesive and his drum solo is tight and exact and the perfect length, with 1st Baseman Joe Dart easing him back in with FLAWLESSNESS. But listen, Louis Cole tho. He is a musician in his own class as far as I’ve seen. I love them both, I liked Cole’s drumming more, but Madison Square Garden can’t be topped as far as tightness ✌🏼
I like the how clean LC is, his drumming is so tight it leaves room for the other instruments without fading. NS has a nice flow and i liked his solo better
Just my opinion - Louis' solo was technically flashier, but Nate's solo was more musically interesting. I really liked the way Nate played with space, leaving out the anticipated hits.
I actually like how Louis was still playing the hits from melody during the solo. I also prefer Nate's solo, but I liked that aspect of Louis' solo a lot
Hard to make an unbiased comparison given the massive difference in audio quality between the two takes, imo. But frankly, I’d like to have them both play together :)
That’s because it’s using the official recording of the song from the concert. Go check out the rematch video I did that has really more even sound quality
This vid reminds me of Michael Jackson' song : It don't matter if the drummer is black or white :) Both are perfect. You edited two vids perfectly, too.
Nate had a bongo player which really filled it up. But the dude playing air guitar over to Louis's right really made this an unfair drum battle for Nate.
Yup! It was at the Parasido in Amsterdam. It’s been 5 years since Louis first played with Vulfpeck in LA. Already working to make a “final round” video like I did with Sonny T and Joe Dart on Dean Town!
This is now the second “mashup” that I’ve done that has now become reality! I have no idea if my battle series influenced these real life meet ups, but it’s too coincidental!
As a massive fan of Louis Cole . . . gotta give it to Nate Smith. This may sound weird, but imo Louis Cole's style only "works" on Louis Cole's oddly-specific drum setup (with the specifically-detuned bass drum, zil-bel on the snare, etc . . .). All of his crazy dynamics are lost on a "regular" kit. Also, what was with the bizarre crabcore dueling guitarists on the Nate Smith take, lol? I was 100% not expecting crabfunkcore.
Taking aside we're comparing apples to oranges and both in stellar league, I think - in contrary to most commenters - that while Nate Smith better understands what to play with VP or the FF, there isn't all that much he's bringing to the table, as Louis Cole could. Bear with me! In his own music, Nate is known mostly for performing as the forefront instrument with others providing background. And also for the broken rhythms. After finding a common denominator with VP funky material, there is of course great pocket but his playing doesn't get much in the way. That might be great for stellar performance of Vulf's existing compositions. There had been however a whole alley to be explored with Louis and sadly isn't looking to be possible as all the members now drifted apart. You see, LC's playing isn't all about 'smashing that kick', using splashes for techno sounds, speed and 'being all weird'. He has that uncomparable finesse of using groupings and phrasing while still holding the groove and doing so hard. You could listen to the solo alone and guess the song by how lyrical his articulation is. And still dance to it. Now, this has it's own implications. This tends to drive the whole band, posing a challenge for other musicians to stay on top of the drums rather than just fill in. It could have lead to some very interesting compositions written around this concept. Completely different. Especially knowing Jack Stratton's tendency to weave miniature elements to just smash a massive horn or synth on top of it, or let clav or bass dominate the song. In his time with Vulfpeck, Nate provided us with great music and some memorable lines. Don't think LC will get the same opportunity, but still. Hope such album does come out!
Very astute! Maybe check out the rematch I made pairing up LC from Red Rocks 2018 and the official MSG video side by side. th-cam.com/video/4bZNV-6HZ1Y/w-d-xo.html
Louis Cole is a genius, he is smart, funny, unexpected, versatile, and he is really a great drummer. But from a drummer's perspective, Nate Smith has a MUCH higher level than Louis Cole at drums. Both of them know that... it is pretty obvious. Louis Cole couldn't play in Dave Holland's quintet/big band... not because he wouldn't or couldn't technically, more because Dave Holland probably wouldn't choose to hire him. Now to play some funky Vulfpeck, both have a level at drums and a musicality that is much higher than what is needed. So I would say... "they are both interesting in their own right". Just Nate Smith has much more technique, available musical language, and years of playing...
If there was soundboard audio for the Regent show, I would have used it. But that’s partly why I did mostly an A/B comparison. Watch the rematch video using the official videos from Red Rocks 2018 & MSG.
Not fair to compare one high quality audio with a cell phone recording.. You can hear Nate's accents and ghost notes and with Louis, you cannot because of the recording differences. I think Nate sounds funkier here, but it's not a fair comparison because of the difference in sound qualities.
The idea was to showcase the drumming, not the sound quality. If you watch the Rematch video I did, is user the official 2018 Red Rocks and 2019 MSG recordings and videos.

Louis Cole is a straight line drum machine man. It is funky in its own way, but vulfpeck's style is a little different than Cole actually does, because he just smashes the bass pedal with all the power he has. I think Nate's style suits it better.
I must applaud your comment, not because I agree or disagree, but because it is an actual assessment of their different styles of playing with a specific such as the way they each approach the bass drum, how they each fit into the band, and who you personally prefer with this band…..not “who is better”, to which there really is no answer. Well written!
Part of the issue is the arrangements are different towards the end. If you want a more synced up version, go watch the rematch video I made with the official release of Red Rocks 2018 and MSG from the Vulfpeck channel.
As much as I love Louis Coles drumming, Nates techniqe matches the song far better. I would be interested in a synth bass solo from LC for the song however.
I think the quality of recording had a lot to do with it. Nates kit sounds very punchy whereas Louis was obviously recorded on a potato.. Both are amazing though :)
The idea was comparing the different drumming styles, not about sound quality. If sound quality is an issue for you, look up my rematch video with Louis from Red Rocks 2018 and Nate from the official MSG film.
Louis cole is without a doubt one of my favorite musicians of all time, but Nates feel for funk is absolutely insane.
Both different, both incredible.
Who do you love the most? Dad or mom?
My dad hasn’t been around much…
@@tylerschallert2121 you’re not alone in that.
Louis
Nate on MSG is unmatched. That snare sound and accuracy. Even Ryan Lerman (camera guy) had a reaction.
And the winner is: mankind
I didn’t know Mick Foley jumped into the match! 🤣
@@DoctorWho8 ok... the winner is: cactus jack, or as we say in west germany: Kaktus Köbes
Imagine being introduced to Louis Cole with this video, and then looking him up
Welcome to the rabbit hole, I say.
My first ever video of Louis Cole was Thinking live and I had no idea what I was in for.
Your telling me? I watched a couple clowns in a toilet and now I’m a louis cole fan.
love both of them, especially those pauses that nate did

Louis solo had a very Keith Carlock feel, but man both Nate and Louis have such great funky slinky feel. A treat for sure.
man..I miss playing shows since the pandemic started. This kind of energy is an inspiration.
People are playing live more this year, just have to still be cautious.
@@DoctorWho8 Yeah, If I wasn’t so worried, I’d have played more than a few special events.
I don't think Louis was given enough love with how the mixing is, he rocked pretty hard at red rocks. They're both awesome drummers

I definitely feel that Nate's style fits better into the groove of this track, but no disrespect to LC in that, him on tesla at red rocks is great
it's the outfit from Blimp! as excellent as Louis is at music, we need to talk more about his chops as a fashion icon
There is no fashion, only Zuul Cole.
This is such a creative idea for a video!
Thank you!
Nice edit man, super fun!
Thank you!
Louis Cole moves like a Showbiz Animatronic, but in a good way. That giant ski jacket isn't hurting the effect

We can observe how they have a fucking high speed, powerful and time consistent left foot! Insane!

Both know very well: cymbal grab is obligatory!
I saw this title and almost died
Resurrect yourself with the rematch video I also did!
Nate's a better traditional drummer, Louis's a better avant-garde drummer. That said, they both seemed to struggle with what to do with this song.
I think you should watch the third part of this series. 😀 th-cam.com/video/ooo2MSAbuRo/w-d-xo.html

Also there is a third and final round that was done IN-PERSON at a Fearless Flyers show in Europe! It was epic! It’s on my channel too!
Both are firing off all cylinders. They are both such mechanical players that it literally looks like a dang engine moving
They are a locomotion of funk!
Different venues/sound, but there can be no loser. We all win with either drummer.
Check out the rematch video also!
They are both awesome drummers but no doubt, it's Nate Smith! How his style jives with the bands genre, it's too awesome!
Also checkout the rematch video to see them play in unison!
Thank you, stranger.
I’m only slightly strange. 😀
Love em both but Nate is the ultimate beast, hear that audience whoop when he skips that beat, genius
Check out the rematch video too!
Louis is a machine but the feel of Nate is just more pocket and what I personally prefer
Same here.
Louis is too on top of the beat for me. Nate sits right down in the pocket.
Neither one is "wrong".

After finding a common denominator with VP funky material, there is of course great pocket but his playing doesn't get much in the way. That might be great for stellar performance of Vulf's existing compositions.
There had been however a whole alley to be explored with Louis and sadly isn't looking to be possible as all the members now drifted apart.

He has that uncomparable finesse of using groupings and phrasing while still holding the groove and doing so hard. You could listen to the solo alone and guess the song by how lyrical his articulation is. And still dance to it.
Now, this has it's own implications. This tends to drive the whole band, posing a challenge for other musicians to stay on top of the drums rather than just fill in.

Both drummers are awesome, but Nate Smith is in a world of his own. Now can we talk about how Cory's guitar is blazing?
You need two clips with the same sound quality.
That’s the problem. There is no soundboard quality audio from the gig Louis Cole did in 2017, and there is only one video of him playing this song.
louis a lil on top of the beat... nate layin it lightly back :D
How is this possible matching the two different gigs together? I mean tempo, tuning? Anyone an idea?
